Anyway, in a SHTF situation, I would always carry an iPod and portable speakers. Partially for enjoyment, and partially to play that one song I always had planned to play at that moment when I think I'm pretty much screwed. Stick it on and go out takin big mouthfuls of rum with guns blazing. Anyway, my song for the inevitable is Bad Moon Rising by CCR.

Sort of a song that I used to pump me up for what I thought would be a beatdown I'd be taking. Decided to finally stand up to the town bully who decided to get his friends together in front of my house. I took my lanky 14 year old self, tied my shoes extra tight, grabbed a roll of quarters, blasted this, then went outside and started swinging the second he opened his mouth. I ended up walking away unscathed. I attribute it to the song and the accompanying rage.

Haven't needed the song in 20 years.

Its not the song, it's what gives you your war face and courage to follow through.

Since I know it will my death during battle, I'd probably want something more epic, Wagner's Die Valkyre or Tchaikofsky's 1812 overture. Better to die on an upbeat note, so maybe Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
